MONKS’ TRIPEL ALE

MONKS’ TRIPEL® ALE

Tripel ales, first brewed by the Trappist monks at Westmalle in Belgium in the 1930s, are typically some of the strongest—and most complex—ales. Abbey Brewing’s Monks’ Tripel and Monks’ Tripel Reserve Ales are among our most popular offerings at craft beer festivals.

VITALS

Monks’ Tripel Ale and Tripel Reserve Ale are light-bodied ales with a widely varying flavor profile from start to finish.

Monks’ Tripel Ale is distinctly fruity and spicy with a pleasant alcoholic warmth and a crisp, dry finish. The yeast lends notes of peach, apricot and plum, which support a complex chorus of traditional flavors. Imported European hops bring balance to the long layers of yeast character by providing a spicy and herbaceous harmony of flavor.

In Tripel Reserve Ale, the hops add a slight earthy, spicy (pepper) flavor. A subtle and soft malt character produces a rich quality up front and a round fullness in the middle. Both Tripels finish clean and dry, Tripel Reserve with light hints of citrus fruits and mint.

INGREDIENTS

Monks’ Tripel Ale remains true to its Belgian monastic heritage through the use of the finest imported ingredients, including:

Hops: • Slovenian Styrian Gold • German Hallertauer • Czech Saaz

Malt: • Belgian Aromatic

European-derived yeast is used for both brews. Monks’ Tripel Reserve Ale is enriched with a unique blend of hops that includes varieties native to northern New Mexico and southern Colorado (neo-mexicanus), which are grown on the grounds of Christ in the Desert Benedictine Monastery.
